LenaJ. Bridger, daughter of Judge Eridger,
| was unitod in marriage to Mr.. J. y. Webb,
Jr., of Minden, La, Rev. n. s. Cornell Off
ciating.
The bride was dressed in a suit OF hello
trope surah silk, with front OF white valen-
ciennes lace, and was richly and deliberately
! trimmed with ribbon of the same soft hues
of the dress. AS she stood there with her
hand resting lightly upon the arm of the
groom, she presented a picture of perfect
loneliness. The groom, II stately and digni-
fed looking gentleman, was dressed in n
suit of the conventional black.
The ceremony took place in tho presence
of small company of relatives and friends;
and soon after the congratulations were
oyer there was clasping of hands in Il good
bye in which perchance some drops OIL
grief mingled III the hearts brightest joy.
Erc this they have arrived at their future
home in Minden.
May they find III their union fond real |
ization of every bright dream, and drink |
from u cup of welded joy III which there
will DO no bitter dregs and may the sun of
their married life set in a halo Of light AS |
refulgont as that in which it rose.
